University of Nebraska Collaboration Initiative

2022-2023 Collaboration Initiative

The primary purpose of the Collaboration Initiative is to enhance competitiveness of University of Nebraska (NU) faculty for extramural funding by fully leveraging the intellectual capacity and research resources across the NU campuses. The Fiscal Year 2024 funding opportunity is designed to facilitate research collaborations among faculty in any discipline or to allow faculty to explore ideas and innovations that will be expected to lead to new invention disclosures.

This year’s faculty-grant Request for Applications (RFA) will solicit proposals from faculty that help position them to compete for extramural funding or to facilitate the exploration of ideas and innovations that will lead to eventual invention disclosures. Researchable topics will not be administratively predefined, but applications must be designed to fund preliminary data collection, resubmissions, seed grants, and inventions/innovations. All disciplines are encouraged to apply. Except for idea/innovation grants, all proposals must involve a multi-campus team.

2022-23 Funding Opportunities

Data Collection, Resubmission, and Investigatory Grants

Applications will be accepted for one or two years, from $10,000 - $150,000 total (not to exceed $75,000 per year). Researchers seeking funds to support preliminary data collection, resubmissions, or investigatory seed grants must involve investigators on multiple campuses.

This program will also accept applications that are designed to support the national security mission of the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska. See nsri.nebraska.edu/IRAD for more information.

Idea and Innovation Exploration Grants

Applications will be accepted for one or two years, from $5,000 to $25,000 to facilitate the exploration of ideas and innovations that will lead to eventual invention disclosures. These grant applications do not require multi-campus collaborators.
